First Peoples National Party of Canada

The First Peoples National Party of Canada (FPNPC) was a registered federal political party in Canada. Focused on Indigenous rights advocacy, it sought to increase the amount of Indigenous people involved in the federal electoral process and engage the public on Indigenous issues, while it also nominated candidates for election in electoral districts with large Aboriginal populations. The party ran candidates in 3 federal elections between 2006 and 2011. The party was voluntarily deregistered by Elections Canada on July 5, 2013, with then-leader Will Morin asserting that the party's purpose had been supplanted by the emergence of the Idle No More activist movement.
